Photos of Chapel Hill (Franklin, Tar Heel: co-op, house, school)

[Lauren Roberts]

This is a picture tour of some of Chapel Hill

Driving through campas


These photos were taken from inside Pope Stadiumbox in Kenan Stadium, home of the Tar Heels.



This is a small co-op garden, one block off of Franklin Street on Battle Lane.


This is the Love House & Huchins Forum on the corner of Franklin and Battle.

While I find CH to be a charming town with a great choice of restaurants along Franklin Street, its pics like this one that remind me precisely why I don't care to live there:


That much pansy blue is simply repulsive!

It's not when it's filled with fans

Chapel Hill even has Tar Heel blue fire trucks.. My family from DE thought that was one of the funniest things they saw when they were visiting me in NC.

You know, I've often wondered about that. Obviously, I don't care for anything light blue (FYI there's not a color called 'Tar Heel' blue or 'Carolina Blue'. However, I always thought there were only 2 acceptable colors for fire trucks, red or bright yellow. Obviously there's no statute about this, or CH couldn't have painted the trucks this color, however it still doesn't seem right in the interest of public safety. I've lived in other college towns with a lot of pride in their school, but they certainly didn't go so far as to paint emergency vehicles in the team colors.

Hey, I'm a Duke gal myself.
But I do love Chapel Hill.
What is a Tar Heel anyway?

I must see a picture of that!

Lauren, Wikipedia to the rescue (this one seems to be accurate): Tar Heel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's amazing how quickly you get used to seeing the pale blue fire trucks. I think now a red one would look strange to me.
